In town, you’ll be charmed by the tall, black gaslights that still stand in a section of Main St. In Wellsboro, you can find things like the drum shaped Wellsboro Diner, serving up delicious food since 1939, an old, brick jailhouse, and a movie house.

Outside the town, you can spend up to a few days exploring the 47-mile Pine Creek Gorge, with its dramatic scenery, wildlife, numerous trees, and hiking trails.
